Autobiography
Arena's autobiography, Now I Can Dance, published by HarperCollins, was released on 14 October 2013 in paperback and E-book format. It is billed by HarperCollins as "Honest and intimate, funny and frank, Now I Can Dance is the long-awaited memoir from the very special, much-loved singer, songwriter and pop diva, Tina Arena." She told Kathy McCabe of News Corp Australia that "I don't need to put a book out to put food on the table. It started to dawn on me in the last year that I have had an unbelievable life and I want people to know it's been hilarious, there's been a lot of laughter in my journey."
Charities
Arena supports non-profit charities, including, in 2013, as an official patron for a charitable organisation, Soldier On, which assists mentally and physically wounded Australian soldiers. The singer said: "It's vital that Australian soldiers have access to support when they return from overseas, and 'Soldier On' will make a much needed difference in the lives of wounded veterans and their families. 'Soldier On' is the first charity of its kind in Australia and I am honoured to be a Patron."
In July 2013 she performed at the Melbourne Asbestos Cancer Fundraiser, which donated funds raised to support Mesothelioma research undertaken at the Olivia-Newton John Cancer & Wellness Centre and the Austin Hospital, Melbourne. She was also a participant, with partner Damian Whitewood, in the 13th Australian season of Dancing with the Stars which commenced in September 2013 and nominated Barnardos Australia as her charity; the pair finished in third place.
Arena took part in Australia's biggest TV charity appeal, Telethon, in Perth on 20 October 2013. On 21 December 2013 she opened Sydney's annual Carols in the Domain concert with "O Come, All Ye Faithful" and performed her single "Reset All" at the closing of the event.
In November 2014 Arena released a cover version of the 10cc's 1976 song, The Things We Do For Love, with money raised going towards the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Biography
In December 1995 Arena married her then-manager, Ralph Carr; they divorced in 1999 and settled their financial and contractual matters in February 2002. According to Alexandra Carlton, in October 2015, "the marriage left her feeling 'disconnected' and unhappy, and began with Carr's anger over her refusal to allow their wedding photos to be sold to a magazine, and culminated in an antagonistic divorce that she's since described as a 'shitfight'. They don't speak today, but Arena says she doesn't regret the relationship. 'What you gonna do? Worry about the mistakes, wrong decisions?' she scoffs. 'At the end of the day, you were meant to make those. You do your greatest growing through the pain'."
